New Puyo Puyo game - Yay or Nay?

21/4/2011

 
Hi thair! So yeah, Sega recently announced another game in their ever-so-popular Puyo Puyo series. This time it's headed for the DS again, much like Puyo Puyo 7. In case you aren't familiar with Puyo Puyo, then check out this article. Somewhen around Fever, Sega decided to change the character design. What was generic anime before became super-dee-duper-silly-sugary flat designs. A character who once looked like this

now looks like

I mean, okay, she does look cuter, and the armor still looks fine, even though it's heavily simplified like that. But still... I just can't get used to that artstyle. Oh well. At least the good ol' fun is still there!

Not a series for the Western market.
The game's due this July. It's only slated for DS release, (and I mean the "old" DS, not 3DS) but miost of the games got ported to multiple platforms, so I'm sure this will also show up on the PSP and 3DS.
PS: I have an unhealthy obsession with these games.

Bleh...

...is what I thought this morning. You know, I could write an hour-long excuse why I didn't update for so long, but I won't, since it'll save us both time. I worked on Disillusioned Journey a bit more, and I'll skip the explanation part and just show another comparison picture.

My mapping could still be better, but practice follows improvement they say. Not much more to say about DS for now, just showin' that it's still alive and kicking.

Today I'd like to feature some stuff, though. First off is
ADALYN
A(nother) short contest game by Ocean's Dream. This time it's about a sexy girl with a gun who gets into trouble and shoots her way out of it. You run around and murderize legions of enemies with your gun and knife, all while keeping an eye on your ammo and other vital parameters. Unlike many other games by Ocean the story is rather mature with a lot of satirical humor thrown in. It's an all around pretty good game with only one major flaw. And boy, I really mean major. There's a massive lag in battles. Massive, as in, extremely massive. It's playable, but it can still get nasty, especially when you can't time your attacks correctly. But fear not! Ocean has a new version in the works, and the lag has already been fixed! There will also be... ah no, I won't tell you anything. The old version is still available, so go play it if you wanna kill an hour or two. Go ahead, or get shot. Also, fun fact; Adalyn has been rather popular in Japan.

It says 'BOOBS' BTW
The other person I'd like to feature is PaulianCornet and her cool YouTube channel. She's an old friend and ex-roommate of mine, and she uploads gameplay footage of indie games. So, if you want some footage of your game and can't record it on your own, ask her. She already did some for Rubi and... some other game.
That's it for today, FOO BYE~
